Wild beavers are to roam in Scotland once more, for the first time in 200 years. Opponents fear that the three wild beaver families being introduced could damage stocks of salmon and other fish, while naturalists hope the once native species will now settle in its UK habitat, after being hunted to extinction in these isles. Conservationists in Wales are also hoping to name six possible beaver release sites, then reintroduce the animals in two to three years' time.

What's your take on the small furry animals? Do you plan on organising beaver-sighting expeditions, or would you write them off as "destructive nocturnal rats"?
